Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

1 cup quinoa
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup diced green bell pepper
½ cup diced red onion
1 cup corn
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 large tomato, diced
½ cup fresh lime juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
½ cup feta cheese
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water; drain.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir quinoa until water evaporates and quinoa is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until quinoa has absorbed broth, about 10 minutes. Cool quinoa in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
Mix together green bell pepper, red onion, corn, black beans, cilantro, tomato, lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning, and feta cheese in a large salad bowl.
Lightly stir in quinoa; season with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice to taste. Chill salad at least 30 minutes before serving; serve cold.

Manduguk

This manduguk has a light beef flavor. It's just rich enough to make your lips a little sticky and you'll pick up on a subtle sweetness from the onions at the end. The fish sauce and sea salt impart umami in the soup, but it shouldn't overwhelm the beef broth or the other ingredients. All the add-ins, particularly the shredded beef, sesame oil, and nori, add savoriness without dominating each other for flavor. Serve with kimchi or steamed rice.

Instant Pot Hamburger Soup

Easy and delicious soup with a nice thickness. You can make it in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop. When this cools, it will be very thick, but it thins out when reheated. Freezes very well.

Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

This slow cooker French onion soup is ridiculously easy to make, mainly since it cooks in a slow cooker! After you caramelize the onions, it simmers all day, and you come home to an amazing aroma and a fabulous meal for a cold winter day. Using a blend of cheeses on top of the bread makes this soup extra rich and delicious.
